Introducing Apple TV

Posted on January 10, 2007

The computer has transformed the way many of us live. For myself, I can tweak my digital photos, communicate with friends, download and listen to music, and so much more. As a web guy I can also quickly communicate information for anyone to see. It seems lately things are moving quickly to integrate the computer, TV, and even mobile phones. Your computer is the starting point for digital media and now Apple has thrown in another piece to the puzzle, Apple TV.

Apple TV brings your digital life to the TV. Using Apple TV you can watch movies, TV Shows, movie trailers, podcasts, and view photos that are on your computer on your TV. So if you just downloaded your favorite movie from iTunes your computer will wirelessly sync the new flick to Apple TV. After that just grab the Apple Remote, kick back, and watch your movie on your TV.

Apple TV will connect wirelessly via an HDMI port or component video and audio port. According to Apple its syncs super fast using 802.11 wireless capability. Your Apple TV will stay in sync with your computer. If you change anything in your iTunes library it will also change on your Apple TV.

For those of you who enjoy your digital photos you’ll enjoy them even better as the appear in high definition on your TV. Using Apple TV your computer will sync up your digital photos from iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements on a PC. So kick back with your family and enjoy a digital slideshow.

Apple TV will connect to more than one PC or Mac. Apple TV will allow you to connect up to five additional computers. This will allow friends and family to stream their iTunes libraries to your TV. The Apple TV will store up to 50 hours of video.
